"Why kill him-Divorce is easier"
Stock manipulation was a big huge part of the whole plan and divorce would not have accomplished that.
Follow Ups:
The NY Times said that she Was Depressed, Was Cured with the Drugs, but the Cure was worse than the disease, so to speak.
But she never took Any of the Drugs, knew the car crash wouldn't seriously injure her, hoping to get a Shrink to prescirbe the Meds as part of her Master Plan. Pretty outlandish. Not to mention the Stock bit, but still, why Murder?
Or am I missing something Big? Grits said Jude Law was lying to her, but that's only at the end, to trap her. Or not...
Maybe it's everything all at once. It's kept me thinking, that's for sure!
...Mara hated her husband for being responsible for taking her perfect rich life away from her which is why she agreed to kill him.
Mara was in love with Zeta-Jones and with her manipulating Law to prescribe the anti-depressants Mara never took, they had a way to get out of a guilty verdict.
And a way to make the stock drop when it became public with them betting big it would fall.
Once "innocent by insanity" Mara couldn't be tried again and just needed to be released from the asylum to be free to join Zeta and spend the money, getting back to her previous life of luxury.
...the murder was necessary because the stock price manipulation plan called for driving down the price of the stock of Ablixa's mfgr while driving up the price of other "conventional" drug mfgrs. All the faking of symptoms was designed to lead to the murder and a widely publicized trial where Ablixa and its mfgr would be implicated with the subsequent affect on stock price. A divorce wouldn't accomplish this: not newsworthy and certainly wouldn't directly involve the drug companies. Law's involvement is purely coincidental but ends up a vital part of the story.The scheme was risky on Rooneys part because it depended on a successful insanity plea to keep her out of jail for murder. Zeta jones was in an ostensibly much safer position but Law figured it all out and ended up getting her convicted of stock price manipation and a jail term. Rooney was effectively incarcerated in a mental institution apparently as part of the deal where she became a wired informer......I think.

The scheme was riaky to a lunatic degree that makes sense only probably in a movie. The idea to stab someone and then manipulate the facts in order to blame the drug, to be so successful that a murder verdict is avoided (percentage given in the movie for this is 1%, who knows what's true, but it's small in any case). And to generate enough publicity to tar the drug company and affect the stock price. This scheme worked to perfection, but in real life, any number of things could have shattered the whole thing. Nonetheless, I bought it fully as a movie construct.
...yes it was which has me wondering:
1. Did Rooney Mara end up institutionalized as a result of her co-operation when it could have been jail (plea bargain) or was this a form of "revenge" on Law's part in his capacity as a health care professional because she couldn't be jailed as a result of double jepardy? i.e. the only means of legally getting her confined. Or was she determined to be truly crazy to have attempted such a far fetched scheme even though she presented as sane but incredibly cold and calculating?
2. Did. Zeta Jones go to jail for insider trading/stock price manipulation or was she also an accessory to murder resulting from unprofessional conduct or???Two more reasons I need to see this again.

I really hope nobody who has not seen this is reading this discussion.
Nonetheless...here are my takeaways on your quiestions:
Second one first- doctor played by Zeta Jones is shown being arrested for security fraud and accessory to murder- both are stated. The outcome after this is never shown. But pretty clearly, the beans have been spilled through the hidden wire and both charges would clearly be prosecuted.
Then- I see the point as being less revenge on the part of Jude Law's character and more his imposition of justice in a sort of vigilante sense. He had been manipulated in such a way as to get her a not guilty verdict. In the process, he lost his partners, his practice, and his family. Now he found a clever way to get her locked up through a faked personality test. This isn't jail for murder (and for what she did to him), but it's close enough to serve the purpose.
...I didn't catch the outright statement of the double crime, just the securities fraud. I'll be listening closer next time.
While you seem to diminish the revenge aspect of Law's actions, the faked test and his demeanor while explaining his terms to Rooney sure appear to be revenge to me. But it really doesn't matter: the end result is effective incarceration of Rooney...and this time she HAS to take her meds. Kinda depressing actually.
